Tell
us why you decided to go into your chosen field of study, and how
your education reinforced your desire to be an accountant. How do
these factors translate into benefits for us should we desire to hire
you?
Growing
up, I have always had an innate love for math and numbers. When I
look at numbers such as a telephone number or a bar code, I instantly
try and find a relationship within a set by manipulating them through
addition or multiplication. Math continuously proves to be the most
enjoyable subject for me because of my natural ability and the
challenge it presents. During high school, I attended New York District Literary Rally for Accounting. Being chosen as the student
to attend out of my entire school was an honor because the teacher
decides the best student fit to go.
I placed 1st
overall in my district and was allowed to proceed on to Louisiana
State Literary Rally. After enjoying my Accounting class in high
school and placing high at Literary Rally, I verified the instinct to
choose Accounting as my field of study for college.
When I
first started at CA Tech University, I decided to join a
sorority for several reasons. As a well-rounded individual, I wanted
to become involved on campus, create new lasting friendships, and
devote time to philanthropies. I immediately decided I wanted to take
on a leadership position within my sorority, so I applied to become
Assistant Treasurer to gain experience within the accounting field.
The following year, I was elected to Executive Council serving as
Treasurer of Kappa Delta Sorority. Being the Treasurer was time
consuming and tedious, but I enjoyed being in a leadership position
and using my skills to better my sorority. I had to create a new
budget for the year, complete monthly reports, and do all the
bookkeeping while working alongside an accountant. I exemplified
leadership and social skills through my responsibilities as a
Treasurer by communicating with Executive Council about important
events, settling monetary issues within my chapter, and speaking in
front of over 100 women at each weekly meeting.
Not
only have I devoted myself to my sorority, I have also maintained a
job during college. I am currently employed at Kanner and Whiteley as
a file clerk. Working at the law firm has taught me to be a better
business professional and force me to uphold my responsibility. I
know how to dress appropriately and conduct myself accordingly in a
professional environment. As a file clerk, I am trusted to maintain
and organize multidistrict litigations and pull federal court
pleadings. I work full time during the summer, and I work 15 hours a
week through a remote database while at school. The law firm allows
for me to work remotely because I have proved to them my
trustworthiness and reliability through my work ethic and product.
In
conclusion, I will be the best suited candidate for the accounting
position because of my love for the subject and life experiences. I
am certain that becoming an accountant will allow me to prosper and
is the perfect career path for me. My ability to maintain a 4.0 GPA,
work, and be involved on campus shows my responsibility and time
management skills. Also, my dedication to being Treasurer of Kappa
Delta demonstrates my leadership capabilities and social skills. My
credibility is displayed through my employer entrusting in me the
ability to work remotely from school. I am confident in my skills
which validates my ability to become the perfect employee.
